Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch with Laura Ingraham on the Boston Marathon Terror Attack

Spencer said there is lots of information about the Tsarnaev brothers jihad and Islamic ties on social media. Ingraham commented that even Attorney General Eric Holder has held back the focus on radical Islam. Spencer noted that political correctness allowed these brothers to enjoy the privileges of US society without assimilating US values. He said the jihadis pick and choose and can be culturally assimilated but still radicalized. Ingraham cited a Muslim friend who expressed regret over Islam being used for terror. Spencer said there isn't an effort by the Muslims to combat this sort of distortion of Islamic teachings.

Spencer and Ingraham criticized the new immigration bill that has loopholes for student visas as far as their potential radicalization. Spencer said it is very easy to be radicalized online and in the US without going overseas. He cited a study that 80% of mosques favor Sharia law trumping US law.
